Cannnoli are something that you either like or not. In my family they are either filled with a cream or a ricotta mixture. My favorite is the ricotta. I am not a huge sweet eater but whenever a cannoli is there I can't resist having one.

However, they are very very rich and filling. I could never eat more than one at a sitting. As a kid, we'd have them every holiday. I make them occasionally, but admit I go to the Italian deli to get the shells and make the mixture myself. My sister makes the shells, but I'm not that patient and think I'd screw them up. :p
